Possible “Swine Flu” Pandemic on the Horizon?

World health officials worry the swine flu outbreak in Mexico could unleash a global flu epidemic. (Guillermo Gutierrez/Associated Press)

As of April 25,  roughly 86 people in Mexico have died from a new strain of Swine Flu, and more than 1,000 Mexicans are currently ill.  As the situation in Mexico reaches crisis level, the sickness has already begun to work its way across the American/Mexico border.

Dead Man’s Shoes

deadmansshoes20049802_f

UK | 2004 | Directed by Shane Meadows

Logline: A soldier returns to a small country town to seek revenge on the local wastrels who amused themselves years earlier by teasing, humiliating, and terrorising his younger mentally handicapped brother.

A deeply sombre and disturbing tale, more resonant than a dozen hack horror movies, yet inhabits its own nightmare realm; a dramatic thriller of controlled rage which inexorably reaches critical (more. . .)
